Zwitterion-based electrolytes for advanced energy technologies

这项研究旨在开发一种更安全、不易燃的新型电解质，旨在使钠或锂制成的高能电池具有优异的性能。通过合成旨在提高稳定性和电化学性能的新型电解质结构，并使用一系列分析技术来了解材料性能，该项目旨在解决困扰现有电解质的一些安全和性能问题。预期收益包括用于更安全、更可靠的储能技术的新功能能源材料，以及研究培训、合作和材料开发能力，以帮助澳大利亚成为该领域的全球领导者。

This research aims to develop a new class of electrolyte that is safer, non-flammable and designed to enable excellent performance of high energy batteries made with either sodium or lithium. Through the synthesis of new electrolyte structures that are designed to improve stability and electrochemical properties, and using a range of analysis techniques to understand the material properties, the project aims to solve some of the safety and performance problems that plague existing electrolytes. Expected benefits include new functional energy materials for safer, more reliable energy storage technologies, plus research training, collaborations and materials development capabilities to help position Australia as a global leader in this field.
